Dr. Visit 5

Today was the big day. I went in at 10:45 and saw my awesome Dr. Barbieri. She did the ultrasound and measured several follicles and the biggest ones were 18.5! So, I'm there! She says she anticipates getting 20 awesome eggs. (Which they say is a lot) They did my blood work and it came back at 5123! Which is over the limit, so I am at  high risk for hyperstemulation... which isn't good. They said to not take the menepure or follistem today. And My trigger shot (the shot that stimulates ovulation) will be tonight at 8:45. They only want me to take half that dose so as to help prevent the hyperstemulation. I'm ordered to take tons of water and Gatorade. Plus no sugars or white starches, lots of protein etc. If H. happens they would have to freeze the embryos and come back to implant them when I get better. I don't want that, lets do it now! So my retrieval day is wednesday at 7 in the morning. Super excited and nervous. I called my mom and she will be here for me, and my dad will come and give me a blessing with Aaron tuesday night. I hope all will be ok and move smoothly. I know Heavenly Father will prepare a way for this to work out ok.

One cool thing Dr. Barbieri said today: she said the way I feel bloated and pressure wise right now is how I will feel when I'm 12 weeks prego. Happy thought. :)
